Versatile Ampification Single-Molecule Detection in Liquid Biopsy

Study Purpose

The trial will test a paradigm-changing in vitro diagnostic device for Liquid Biopsy enabling facile simultaneous detection of protein and nucleic acid analytes with sensitivity at single-molecule level, e.g. not achievable with any alternative technology. A novel affinity-mediated transport amplification (AMT) method will be tested allowing for the multiplexed quantification of rare biomarkers circulating in blood. The Versilib AMT photonic biosensor will test two analytes: the known actionable DNA mutation BRAF p.V600E, and a melanoma-restricted protein antigen. The results will be compared to digital PCR and ELISA methods.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05940311
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
